A cool kid’s project, looking for funds! Looks like on the way to get funded. Smiley face A low-cost, open-source, Arduino-compatible balancing robot for learning, hacking and delight How it started Last winter, I promised my eight-year-old son to build a little balancing robot that he could program. One thing led to another, and this robot…
Unfortunately the funding objective is still a bit far for this project but it’s really worth mentioning for people interested in Open Source Cinema. MoCo is nothing new. In fact, Star Wars was the first film to use it. Since then motion control equipment for film has stayed extremely expensive. Over the past couple years a…
Another beautiful open source and DIY kit for children is hitting kickstarter, it’s kinda urgent if you want to give a hand! Mirobot is a small, WiFi robotics kit that children can build themselves and then use to learn about technology, engineering and programming. It’s fun to build and easy to start programming it to…
A very interesting french project for a touchless gesture control device: definitely worth supporting! 3D-Pad is a touchless gesture control interface providing 3D coordinates and gesture recognition, with a 10cm depth perception. It consists of a sandwich made up of: a PCB called an electrode plane (1) an Arduino Shield (2) an Arduino Uno (3) – based on ATMEL ATmega328…
The Mamba3D printer is an affordable, high quality, all-metal, open source 3D-printer raising funds on kickstarter.

Ambitious goal for these guys to build another Android gaming platform (remember OUYA?) but doing it….in Open Source (code): With our smartphones we sacrifice sound, battery life, and a tiny screen for mobility. It’s time to merge the phone, the television, and the console into one revolutionary device. Meet Equiso Play. Equiso Play takes the…
This super cool multifunctional – open source – delta robot just launched on Indiegogo. The cool thing is that by using magnetic based attachments, ZeGo can quickly and easily be turned into a 3D printer, engraver, entry level pick and place machine, and much more! The ZeGo bot is multifunction delta robot. And it is one…
Just another Open Source 3d printer debuts on kickstarter. This time the selling point should be the readiness to integrate next generation boards: Dual ARM design AMAKER is designed from scratch to include next generation controller boards. Just as humans have a left and right brain, we designed our controller to mirror two sides of the…
This is totally a Chindōgu invention. I’m surprised the guys even it 1k$ mark – friends and family – but this is so cool, and it’s a demonstration of what you can actually find on Kickstarter. Incredible stuff. We’ve all experienced the frustration of creative drought. You’re sitting down, trying to come up with your next…
Unfortunately this campaign is likely not going to meet its challenge but nevertheless is a clever product that may spark some ideas: You probably know, that you can build a simple projector from nothing but a light, a simple transparency and a camera lens. All you need is the right connector, and GuerillaBeam is just…
